Aghajly

This bracelet takes inspiration from the Aghajly carpets of the Tabriz style. Tree motifs are highly popular in carpet weaving, frequently symbolizing the tree of life. The tree of life illustrates the connection among the three realms of the ancient Orient: paradise, the world of humans, and the underworld, all believed to be united by a central vertical axis. This ancient concept of portraying the world axis as a tree appears in various art forms beyond carpets. The bracelet is also embellished with birds, a common feature in Aghajly carpets.
